System, Method and Computer Readable Medium for Invoking Applications

1. A method for invoking a response behavior in a web page comprising: recording an application invoking event for an application; providing a time delay in response to the application invoking event before invoking of the application; and providing a stimulatory effect during the delay, the stimulatory effect configured to stimulate a human user to re-perform the application invoking event, the time delay being shortened in response to re-performing of the application invoking event; and invoking the application at the conclusion of the time delay irrespective of whether or not the application invoking event is re-performed.

2. The method according to claim 1 comprising: receiving at least one further application invoking event for the application; concluding the stimulatory effect; and invoking the application.

3. The method according to claim 2 comprising recording the at least one further application invoking event.

4. The method according to claim 3 comprising analyzing the at least one further application invoking event to determine if the at least one further application invoking event comprises an expected response behavior.

5. The method according to claim 3 comprising providing the at least one further application invoking event to an event server.

6. The method according to claim 2 comprising caching an original application invoking event during the time delay.

7. The method according to claim 6 comprising providing the original application invoking event to an application event handler associated with the application after the conclusion of the stimulatory effect.

8. The method according to claim 1 wherein providing the stimulatory effect comprises altering the behavior of a button used to invoke the application.

9. The method according to claim 8 wherein altering the behavior of the button used to invoke the application comprises providing a visual effect to the button.

10. The method according to claim 1 comprising: locating at least one widget within the web page; and modifying event handler behavior for the widget to invoke the stimulatory effect prior to invoking the behavior.

11. A web server embodied in hardware and configured to: generate a web page comprising: web page content comprising at least one widget; and at least one widget overlay module configured to: locate the at least one widget within the web page content; and reconfigure event handlers on the at least one widget to first invoke an overlay event handler; and provide the web page to a client browser; wherein the web page is configured to record an event invoking at least one widget; wherein the overlay event handler is configured to invoke at least one widget overlay effect prior to the at least one widget being invoked; wherein the at least one widget overlay effect comprises a visual time delay effect that stimulates a human user to re-perform the event invoking at least one widget, wherein the time delay is shortened in response to re-performing of the event invoking at least one widget and wherein the widget is invoked at the conclusion of the time delay irrespective of whether or not the event invoking at least one widget is re-performed.

12. The web server according to claim 11 wherein the at least one widget overlay module comprises a cache for storing the event during the at least one widget overlay effect.

13. The web server according to claim 11 comprising: an event observer module configured to: observe a plurality of events on the web page; and provide an event stream comprising the plurality of events to an event server; wherein the event stream comprises at least one event recorded during the at least one widget overlay effect.

14. The web server according to claim 13 wherein the at least one widget overlay module is configured to invoke the at least one widget overlay effect in response to a request from the event server.

15. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising computer-executable instructions for execution by a processor, that, when executed, cause the processor to: receive an application invoking event; cache the application invoking event; run a stimulatory effect that stimulates a human user to re-perform the application invoking event; conclude the stimulatory effect; and provide the cached application invoking event to an application event handler at the conclusion of the stimulatory effect irrespective of whether application invoking event was re-performed during the stimulatory effect.

16. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 15 wherein concluding the stimulatory effect comprises receiving at least one further application invoking event.

17. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 15 wherein concluding the stimulatory effect comprises concluding a time delay of the stimulatory effect.
